Potato & Leek Soup

Hello peeps, I told you I’ll be back with some more fresh soup recipes and here I am with a creamy filling soup recipe – The Potato & Leek Soup. When it’s chilly outside and you want to keep yourself warm – there are few things you would want to do – keep sipping hot coffee, milk, chocolate or even hot water or just have hot soups. Now I am not at all a tea drinker (its really something being a Bengali) and have stopped taking coffee as well recently. These days I am on green teas, white teas and Chinese teas!! The nights here are quite cold and I feel hot soups are just the right thing for you to warm up and they are healthy as well.

Now leeks are not readily available in every market in India, but now you have so many supermarkets and hyper markets that sell exotic stuffs that you will not find it extremely difficult to source it. I picked these bunches of leeks from Auchan Hypermarket in Koramangala, Bangalore. In case you don’t know how it looks I’ll pin a photo here from Google.

I also need to give you a little tip on working with leeks. You need to wash them really nice. It’s better to loosen the layers and wash, because normally it will contain loads of soil and you never know if there’s any fertilizer. And while using it for cooking chop off the dark green parts from the top. The white fleshy part from bottom is what you are going to need and that’s where all the taste is.
